Overview

  • On ABC’s This Week, George Stephanopoulos repeatedly asked Vice President JD Vance whether border czar Tom Homan accepted $50,000 in 2024, then ended the interview when Vance did not directly answer.
  • Vance rejected the allegations as a “bogus story,” said Homan did not take a bribe, and argued the show should focus on the government shutdown and other priorities.
  • Multiple outlets have reported that undercover FBI agents recorded Homan discussing help with federal contracts and accepting $50,000 during a September 2024 sting; the recordings have not been released.
  • The White House and Homan deny wrongdoing, and post‑inauguration DOJ and FBI leaders have said prosecutors found no credible evidence and closed the probe.
  • House Democrats, including Rep. Jamie Raskin, are pressing DOJ and the FBI for the alleged tapes, investigative files, and an explanation for the decision to drop the case.
